Hi folks,
Although not a newbie, as I have been a member for over three and a half years, I haven't posted much (31 I think). I got the first VH album back in 1978 when I was 15 years old and it had a profound effect on me. I still listen to it today and I'm blown away by Ed's rhythmic feel and technique and also those great harmonies. I started collecting VH audio and video boots in the mid 80s and I'm still on the lookout for new stuff and upgrades (mostly the Roth era, I guess I'm showing my age). I certainly don't cosider myself an authority on VH boots and there are many people here who have a great knowledge of all the details. I have been lucky enough to get in on some trees over the years and have done a some snail mail trades with a few members. I just recently started popping back in here and really took notice of the fact that this is a great community for all things Van Halen. I think I speak for all of us who are behind the scenes (I'm not fond of the word lurker), when I say thanks to everyone for keeping the vibe alive even though the band itself, hasn't had much luck doing so. |

Hi Chris,
The video pool from the Roth era is fairly small and I have relied on people like yourself, the Digital Dan and others to get the best copies. I remember going through 4 or 5 copies of Montreal '84 on VHS before getting a decent one and then I got Dan's version (from a tree here actually - thanks Tom) on DVD and it was better yet.

| No Mike, that's not me, but you did help me out a while back with some blank DVD trades, before I had a burner. I'm located in Halifax. |
